BRIEF HISTORY

Air Force Comprehensive School (AFCS) Iyana-Offa, Ibadan came to being on the 28 December 1991 when the then Military Administrator of Oyo State, Colonel (Col) AK Adisa (Rtd) handed over a vacated Teachers’ Training College to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).  The NAF then conceived the idea of establishing her first co-educational boarding school in Ibadan.  Col AK Adisa (Rtd) quickly advised the then Chief  of   the Air Staff (CAS), Air Vice Mashal Nuraini Yusuff (Rtd) to send senior military education officers to come and evaluate the suitability of the premises for the type of the School the NAF was intending to establish, being “a son of the soil”. Consequently,  It was easy for the CAS  to make adequate arrangements with some teachers on ground and some NAF education experts headed by Squadron Leader (Sqn Ldr) EC Nwanjoku.

Sqn Ldr EC Nwanjoku was assisted by the staff he met on ground on arrival  at Iyana-Offa.   Work started in earnest by putting in place all necessary machineries that would accelerate the process of starting a school of high standard.  Real academic work started on 10 January 1992 with the then Sqn Ldr EC Nwanjoku metamorphosing into the first Commandant (Comdt) and he was assisted by then Flight Lieutenant T Auta as the Administrative Officer (Admin Offr), while Mr RS Adebiyi was the Principal  (Academics).
